The Baltic Exchange's main sea freight index, which measures the cost of shipping goods worldwide, was down for a seventh day on Friday, falling about 1.3% to a one-month low of 1,384 points, amid weaker demand for larger vessel segments. The capesize index, which tracks vessels typically transporting 150,000-tonne cargoes such as iron ore and coal, decreased 1.7% to an over three-week low of 2,105 points; and the panamax index, which tracks ships that usually carry coal or grain cargoes of about 60,000 to 70,000 tonnes, posted its 18th consecutive daily drop, dropping about 1.1% to its lowest since late February at 1,222 points. Among smaller vessels, the supramax index shed 8 points to 1,077 points. The benchmark index was down 11.2% in the third week of May, its worst since the week ending January 27
